Hey Shirt Front man are you just a shell?
Intent on creating a living hell
Can’t watch the news each day gets worse
Will these times be known as the mad monk’s curse?
Refugees missing, no word not a trace
Hey Shirt Front man it’s a total disgrace
The jesuits roll their eyes aghast
As you ditch the poor, put the underdog last
CHORUS
We’re after a leader who’s dignified & wise
But you’re trashing the nation right before our very eyes
Hey Shirt Front man, you’ve got quite a nerve
What are you doing? And who do you serve?
Uni fees, privacy, who gave permission?
To undertake such complete demolition
Firmly tied to the lobbyists yoke
Our climate policy’s a global joke
You’’ve set us back, ditched good laws
Defying logic, you’ve opened the doors
To sceptics and liars, given them wings
Their palms are greased by coal-burning kings
CHORUS
We’re after a leader who’s dignified & wise
But you’re trashing the nation, right before our very eyes
Hey Shirt Front man, you’ve got quite a nerve
What are you doing? And who do you serve?
We’re out of outrage, you’ve beaten all quotas
Of cringeworthy moments, remember the voters
Water, climate, forests, health,
Anything else you’d like to take by stealth?
You have the gall to say black is white
Fiction is fact, day is night
Are miners and shooters running the nation?
Is journalism just a form of sedation?
You’re out of control, No one can win
What I wanna know is who voted you in?
CHORUS
We’re after a nation that’s dignified & wise
But you’re trashing our planet, right before our very eyes
Hey Shirt Front man, you’ve got quite a nerve
What are you doing? Who do you serve?
